The Truth About Unions

How Much Are Union Dues?

Union dues are typically a percentage of pay—usually between 1.5% of pay to as much as five percent of pay.

The amount of union dues vary from union to union and will usually range from a few hundred dollars per year to more than a thousand dollars, and sometimes even higher.

You should also know that, if you do not live in a Right to Work state, you can be required to pay union dues (or agency fees) or the union can order you to be fired if there is a union (income) security agreement in your place of work.

In addition, union dues are not the same as initiation fees that can be charged to join the union (also usually in the hundreds of dollars); nor are dues the same as “special assessments” (which is money members may be required to pay in addition to normal monthly dues).
